9138.0. "another VRESTORE help question." by PATS::NETWORK () Wed Mar 12 1997 11:22
I'm having a problem using vrestore to extract/restore some
directories from tape back to my system.
The system has been upgraded to Unix 4.x, a coworker who is not
presently available previously restored some of his files, so
I know it will work.
I've read through the vrestore help but am basically getting
nowhere. Could someone give me a few pointers on where to start?
I have a few user directories I would like to restore to the
/USER partition. If I try vrestore -i I can see what I want,
I just dont seem to have the correct syntax to extract what I want.
On my system, does it matter what directory I am in
ie., should I be in /usr/users, then try to restore the directories
from where I am?
The backup tape is of the /usr partition, but I dont want to
restore the whole partition, just certain files and certain
user directories. Any help greatly appreciated.

| You can specify the directory you want the files restored to on the
command line and you don't have to worry what directory you're in when
you run vrestore:
vrestore -i -D /user
When you're in interactive mode, vrestore keeps a list of files you
select to be restored. You select the file by typing the command:
add <filename>
Once you have all the files specified, you type "extract" or "restore"
to get them restored.
All of this is documented in the vrestore man page.
